- We get a lot of questions about how to get into neurosurgery residency in the UK. This video is not exhaustive but covers a lot of the things you need to start thinking about to get into neurosurgery residency. This video on how to get into neurosurgery residency is primarily aimed at people in the UK, but a lot of it will be broadly applicable to global neurosurgery residency programmes.

![So You Want to Be a NEUROSURGEON [Ep. 6]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/RsxFLccGPH8/mqdefault.jpg)
Which bits of this would you like to know about in more detail?
Hello sir. Could you please expand on auditing and research papers? Also could you talk about how it is for foreign medical students who are interested in joining ?
Same as the above comment would be great!
Thank you for the video, Alex. A lot (almost all?) of the bits are targeted to medical students. Could you elaborate on the plans for international medical graduates who are planning to move to UK and start building the CV for neurosurgery? Thank you in advance.
Hello Alex. Thank you so much for this informative video. Could you do a bit more for graduates? I.e., F1s-3s. In particular, more focus on the portfolio and how to prepare for the interview. Thank you so much :-)
Please could we have more information on how to get early clinical experience and get research opportunities. Also wondering if experience and research in neurology helps you get into neurosurgery if the medical school doesn't have any neurosurgical departments near by?
Love the videos please keep them coming! 😁
A video explaining in depth audits and research projects would be really helpful! Thanks for the video.
Haha I feared that might be the case. I might get a guest on to talk about research ;)
I have a question. Do different neurosurgeons so different things like is there a job were a neurosurgeon only does spine or like only does brain? Or is it like a neurosurgeon does all things like does spine and brain? Sorry I am kind of new to neurosurgery and medicine in general...
@Julian hello as an Img will I be able to get into neurosurgery residency after clearing MRCS(will get gmc registration) then will apply for Neurosurgery residency and after the Interview...if I get selected..will I get in to neurosurgery residency?
It’s been such a bummer being in self isolation. You’re probably super busy but if not, a new video would be appreciated for boosting morale! Even on COVID-19, or on how you studied to get through medical school and residency, or what your day looks like in the pandemic, anything like that.
Seeing these videos honestly always picks my mood up
You seem so kind and like you’re able to put people at ease. I study neuroscience at King’s College and my plan has always been to become a consultant neurologist. I’ve not yet shadowed anyone in the industry, and can imagine I’d definitely be nervous to do so when the time comes, given that neurosurgeons have so much authority and are at such a standard. However, you’ve put my mind at ease and your gentle nature has given me faith that there is nothing to be scared of!
Thank you doctor. You are such an inspiring person.
I'm 14 and the moment neuro surgery was explained to me I knew deep down in my soul I was going to become a neurosurgeon and I've been planning from a very young age
since i was 10 i been wanting to be a neurosuregon
It takes 14 years to beocome neurosurgeon......
Not a game if child
@@dilipmule8533 we know but it also depends what type of neurosurgeon it is.
I was 13 when I started learning procedures on touch surgery 😂
@@devsehgal7432 oh cool my uncle is a neurosurgeon so he sometimes takes me to his office and explains some topics about the subject of neurology
i just retired from my practice of radiology...Neuro rad mostly..and i miss it every day..after so many days..longer nights it became a way of life..constant thought on a particular case, or person..i am sure you have those thoughts..and may you continue to live the Oath..keep studying..keep reading..and make a person smile everyday...Peace from the US..
Thank you so much. I do wonder about retirement and what I would do. Probably just read and draw to my heart's content. Really don't get much time to enjoy myself at all these day!
Always excited to see a new video! 😌👏🏻👌🏻
I binge these videos to keep my motivation high in year 11❤️
Glad you're enjoying them!
I have a question. Do different neurosurgeons so different things like is there a job were a neurosurgeon only does spine or like only does brain? Or is it like a neurosurgeon does all things like does spine and brain? Sorry I am kind of new to neurosurgery and medicine in general...
@@c.m.b.7567 From my understanding there are sub-specialities within neuro surgery, such as spinal surgery, pediatric, skull base, oncology, trauma, functional and there are probably more.
@@rt-viz954 the match rate scares me though, for 2020 it was about 1 place per 8.5 applicants 😬 & they’re probably all strong candidates too!!
Im an intern...Thank you for the informative video :) . Please make a video on research, audit and how important it is for the CVs.
I wanted to be a doctor partly because of Green Wing, and partly because my grandfather was a doctor. A couple of years ago, I came across that video of Keyoumars Ashkan (King's College) resectioning Dagmar Turner's tumour in the frontal lobe, and very few things since have struck me as being quite so audacious and beautiful. Since then, I've flirted with being part of it, and reigniting my passion for medicine, but I don't have a degree (so can't take graduate medicine), and maybe I'll get a degree one day but the training for neurosurgery is just too long and arduous for me to consider it a realistic option. Fantastic that you guys (and girls) do what you do, all the best, and I hope you continue saving lives (and people's musical gifts) in the future.
Thanks so much for the video and of course it'd be great to have deep understanding on audits. Cause I'm in Turkey and we don't have that kind of initiatives in the hospitals
Not even a med student.. still watching 🙋🏻♂️
lol i am in 7th grade and still be watching XD
I'm 11th grader and I wanna be already at university so maddd..
Me too. I’m a software engineer lol
@@miro9834 Enjoy life and don't rush things, it'll go by fast
I was looking for any video to learn about audits and research , thank you and I hope if you talked more about it
hello as an Img will I be able to get into neurosurgery residency after clearing MRCS(will get gmc registration) then will apply for Neurosurgery residency and after the Interview...if I get selected..will I get in to neurosurgery residency(ST1)?
Thank you very informative video ❤️ we hope that you make a video about auditis that would be vey interesting
It looks like audits and research are what people want
Please Make a detailed video about audits and research projects..
Thank you!
Neurosurgeons can perform the most fantastic, life saving surgeries, they can see their patient making an amazing recovery and then that patient dies suddenly!!!
These poor surgeons have no idea how bad is the aftercare in the hospital! They expect the aftercare to be on the same level as the surgery, but I have a shocking news to you all - there’s a chance your patient you’ve spent many hours operating on is simply neglected and many errors had been made during the recovery period, your instructions have not been followed properly or have been disregarded totally.
I’m writing this from many months of watching my husband and other patients.
I’ve lost my husband and I’ve lost the purpose in my life, knowing what I know and not being able deal with the horrific flashbacks!
You’ve chosen the most difficult profession there is and I thank you for this. 🤗♥️🥀
I'm so sorry to hear my dear Ekaterina. I agree either you. I pray 🙏 your heart heals and that u find peace again.
A video regarding audit and research would be a treat!
Hello everyone I am with so much joy to tell you how I finally passed my neurosurgery on third trial after I was introduced to Dr helm , he is a member of the neurosurgery board he provides you with all you need for the neurosurgery exams and all his materials are so real I promise him clients if I succeeded , I recommend Dr helm to you for your neurosurgery AND other exams success He is the best and knows the secret to the whole process and getting the certificates within the shortage period of time get to me so I can direct you to Dr helm and get my accolades the exams you can contact him on WhatsApp or call and text via +1(970) 578 9743 with him you are already a certified neurosurgery holder he is direct and goes straight to response with respect and God fearing try and thank me later
Welcome to the next stage of life
thank you! more about Research would be appreciated
hello as an Img will I be able to get into neurosurgery residency after clearing MRCS(will get gmc registration) then will apply for Neurosurgery residency and after the Interview...if I get selected..will I get in to neurosurgery residency?
Thank you so much.Yes creating a video RE audits would be amazing 😀
thanks.Anila Medical.Student
Sir, it will be helpful if you make the video about audits and researches. And can you elaborate the chances of international medical graduate getting into neurosurgery in uk and what are the extra efforts we should give to compete with uk students.
Thank you so much... I hope that i could join you soon.
this video is just like a hope to me , most are speaking about impossibility to get into ST3 as general surgeon
. My request is if possible can u make video on how to score mark in shortlisting for an interview .
Ty for this video,
This was very helpfull
It's a pleasure!
@@Brainbook
Thank you. Would like to know more about research and auditing.
Can you show an explain the different colors used in operating light and maybe show how it makes a difference, would be really interesting.
That's an interesting point. I'll look into it
cool thanks, also something similar was that i was curious what the different melodies from a anesthesia machine was, and found almost nothing but than this in the Norm ISO/IEC 60601-1-8 www.anaesthesia.med.usyd.edu.au/resources/alarms/ not your specialty but there are allot of similar topics i find
I have a question. Do different neurosurgeons so different things like is there a job were a neurosurgeon only does spine or like only does brain? Or is it like a neurosurgeon does all things like does spine and brain? Sorry I am kind of new to neurosurgery and medicine in general...
Dr Alex...I admire your profession. Please, there is a question from 2months ago about neurosurgery residency for International Medical Graduates, any information you wish to share? Also, is there an age limit to start neurosurgery residency in the UK?
How would you describe the amount of debt that you were in up to now. And what advice would you give any other aspiring neurosurgeons when running into debt
This video was great and I gained a lot of information from it. I am year 12 about to enter my last year of sixth form and I’m interested in neurosurgery. Is there anything extra that I could be doing?
Very helpful!
Hi! Could you make a video on your elective and how you made the most of it?
Could you talk about how an IMG could get into neurosurgery?. Maybe bring a fellow neurosurgeon who was and IMG and can talk about their approach ?
Hello, amazing video.
Do you have any tips for IMGs that want to get into neurosurgery residency?
Great Channel! 😀
Thank you!
Could we have a video going through your neurosurgical portfolio? The one you used for ST1 interviews? Thank you :-)
Yes for sure. The applications have changed a little because of COVID. We are making a second channel just dedicated to this stuff so bear with us!
Hello, i have a question,
I planned to applied to neurosurgery but i had median nerve injury before i loss fine touch,
My question is fine touch and tactile locallization is needed in practice of neurorsurgery?
Can you give any insight for those junior doctors coming to the UK having graduated abroad, wanting to maximise a portfolio for Neurosurgery? A response, or guidance to a relevant resource would be appreciated!
More details on resarch pls
🙏🙏
Hey Brainbook, thanks for another awesome video.
My question is: is there an average amount of time that people stay in the neurosurgeon role? I can't imagine it'd be something a person could do for decades.
Well the retirement age for my generation of surgeons is currently 67. It will probably go higher!
@@Brainbook thanks for being so cool with your fans and answering questions man, I'd love to meet you in person. I hope you and the wife live long and happy lives :)
@@Brainbook Hi, Can someone with GP training (midway or completed) enter neurosurgery training? Or is it too late in the career.
Can u please tell about the audits each n everything?
Sir, please tell me that , from the view point of SKILLS which neurosurgeons are good either European or Indian ??
I'm currently in high school but I've a question that I hope you'll address. I'm an international and if I want to practice neurosurgery in the UK/US then can I add my international shadowing experience as in the one that I'll do in my country in my CV? Will that be considered or does it have to be US-based only? I plan to attend Medical School in my country but I'd like to practice either in the UK/US.
is it possible to complete PGY-1 and PGY-2 both along, because before starting medschool, many people has also done neuroscience and neurology diplomas, which is also a part of PGY-1 year, so, is it possible?
May i know how can a img get into neurosurgery residency in uk?
How early should one start all this, hows 4th year of med school?
I would like to know about the process for a medical student from outside the UK to apply for neurosurgery residency
Did you get any information?
Really want to know more about research and audits
hello as an Img will I be able to get into neurosurgery residency after clearing MRCS(will get gmc registration) then will apply for Neurosurgery residency and after the Interview...if I get selected..will I get in to neurosurgery residency(ST1)?
I'm 13 and I have chosen neurosurgery as my dream job.
Hello, I am 31 years old and plan to apply to medical school in two years (33), assuming that I finish my medical school at 39 how feasible it is that I can get into any surgery program, and specifically neurosurgery ?
Great video! I’m going to be studying medicine starting this September. Do you think I should be pursuing most of these as a first year medical student? And if so which do you think are the most feasible?
I think you should spend at least your first year just being a medical student and enjoying university.
@@Brainbook but from my 1st year I want to devote myself to the neurosurgery and its research... Can you please guide me in this regard that from my very first year what I can do in research and in neurosurgery
Hello sir, I am a UG student of MBBS in India and would like to know if PG (General Surgery or Neurosurgery) is possible for me in the UK.
Please explain more about audit and research
Video coming very soon on our academy channel!
Does marks in USMLE has any impact to get into neurosurgery?
Hi- your videos are fantastic and a great source of learning! So if you studied at St Georges- dare I ask if you ever worked with Dr Henry Marsh?
Oh thank you! Yes but I doubt he would remember me. I was a medical student on my 4th and spent a few days following him about
@@Brainbook Oh goodness that's pretty cool- keep up the fantastic work!
I’m late to the party but advice on starting research and how to get a foot in the door would be amazing!
hello as an Img will I be able to get into neurosurgery residency after clearing MRCS(will get gmc registration) then will apply for Neurosurgery residency and after the Interview...if I get selected..will I get in to neurosurgery residency(ST1)?
future neurosurgeon here!
is it possible from public health degree?
How we can earn during 7 years of residency?
please have a vid on research and audit
Audit one is on it's way!
More information about Research please!
We're working on a second channel thats going to have loads of this!
AUDITS PLS!!!!
Can we have tips to get in a program as international medstudent ? Please...
This is as possible as meeting Jesus.. Well ,meeting Jesus is much more possible to happen
Audits and research projects
Audit video is on its way!
@@Brainbook awesome, looking forward to it.
Also I had a query, so I just finished my final exams in India, I have an year of internship left, I wanted to do neurosurgery in the UK, how should I go about it?
@@sakthikannan2489 same goal..let me know if you get the solution
Can international medical graduates get into neurosurgery in the uk
Yes they can
Can I please get some advice about neurosurgeon. I’m 14 and I am interested in being a neurosurgeon one day
Sure!
The thing is that I am not a genius , which really scares me since only the “best” student are admitted into mes school.
Can sound cliché but work hard and don't give up on it.
I am by no means a Medical School student or a technical genius, though I know a few people in medical school. Four, infact. Three of them are very smart ofcourse, but most can learn to these levels. The one that is unique is truly just a genius, he was born exceptionally smart. He worked hard but not nearly as hard as most. If you try with 100% effort, you can, and will succeed. I would suggest studying hard in high school or college, and spend time researching everything about medicine you can possibly cramp into your day
How does the undergrad-med school system works in the USA?
I'm not sure. We're based in the UK!
Nice response!
You forgot to mention it's an added bonus to get a place in residency if you look & sound incredibly cute too... !! 😁🤭
:D
Hi
Can you please make a video about how the International medical students can get into neurosurgery program in UK? What are the steps? And are there chances to do so or it is hard?
Since i was about 10 i wanted to be a neurosurgen not bc of the money but bc of the things i love
Do they really make that much money?
@@jeremiaharyeetey9877 yes, try ~$600k average
This man has a same mindset as me
Everyone should watch the channel osmosis it is the best Chanel for medical info
If only I did more research in med school
I have a question. Do different neurosurgeons so different things like is there a job were a neurosurgeon only does spine or like only does brain? Or is it like a neurosurgeon does all things like does spine and brain? Sorry I am kind of new to neurosurgery and medicine in general...
C. Burkley I believe with neurosurgery and other surgical specialties you can be more of a generalist, a specialist or a mix. If you wanted to only do spine as a neurosurgeon and you completed a fellowship (subspecialty training), you could do so as long as the place you work accommodates those preferences, you’ve got enough clientele to do it on your own if you’re like a solo practice for example, or you have nice partners who do the other things. Certain groups and employers will want you to cover some of the general stuff as well.
@@DrAdnan thank you so much
C. Burkley no problem!
@@DrAdnan also, is it possible for an orthopedic surgeon to do multiple specialties too. like they do joint replacement AND trauma?
Does attending Neurology conferences and courses .. etc influence my C.V & opportunities for Neurosurgery? Are they interconnected in showing early interest and such?
Yes absolutely! They're great for networking too.
@@Brainbook Great 🙏🏻 Really appreciate your work and time doctor!
Tourism student but watching this
You are one handsome doctor 😏
Are you a neurosergeon
St George’s! My medical school!!
Woop!
i'm still in secondary school. :(
Make sure you enjoy that time. There's no rush believe me!
Your videos are just amazing💫,i wish to subscribe earlier.
Dude turned an OR into his studio
Lol it's a simulated operating theatre in our education academy.

Residency? Isn't that American, it's just called Speciality Training
Yes you're right. Have to also make CZcams happy

Do a video about it please
Why is it so competitive when neurosurgeons get paid less than "physician associates" and "nurse consultants"???😂😂😂
God he must have took a break one month since the last video
We put up a video on the Tom Scott channel last week!
Ok big fan btw!
sik vid
Thanks so much for the video and of course it'd be great to have deep understanding on audits. Cause I'm in Turkey and we don't have that kind of initiatives in the hospitals
